Unsent Letter

To my dear friend,

After all this time that we’ve been apart, I still think of you daily. Random occurrences keep bringing me back to you. A sound, a sight, a thought will bring your image rushing back to my mind.

I saw you yesterday in the face of a stranger. My mind was fully convinced it was you. I longed to run over and hug you. Say all the things that have been left unsaid. Say all the things I’ve wished I could.

Yet it was not you. Often I pray that someday it will be you.

Until that day . . .
